Title: Improvements in Knitting Machines.
Inventor: SCOTT ROBERT WALTER
IPC: D04B9/24
Filed: 1915-10-08
Abstract: 14,283. Scott, R. W. Oct. 8. Circular machines; parallel machines.-Relates to the production, on machines having independent needles, of a beginning selvedge of the kind described in Specification 12,727/13, and comprises means for laying a beginning yarn in the hooks of all the needles and then causing the yarn to be cast off from recurrent needles, the means being also operable at a subsequent course for the production of tuck stitches, for example a stop course as described in Specification 13,227/11. The invention is illustrated in connexion with the machine described in Specification 20,101/09. Long and short latched needles are employed, and the leading stitch cam 8 is pivotally mounted upon the cam-carrier 4, so that it may be raised into normal knitting position indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 6, or dropped into the position indicated in full lines, in which position the long latches fail to clear. The cam 8 is moved against the action of a spring 40, Fig. 1, by a finger 38, rod 34, and lever 31 controlled by a pattern disk 30 on the shaft s<1>, which carries the cams for controlling the yarn-guides and web-holder cam. In operation, a course of yarn is laid upon all needles, after which the yarn-guide is raised. The lever 31 then drops into a notch 55 in the disk 30, lowering the cam 8 and causing the short-latched needles to cast off their loops, as indicated in Fig. 8. As the lever 31 passes out of the notch 55, the cam 8 is raised into normal knitting position, and simultaneously a yarn-guide is thrown into action to lay a course of yarn 2, Fig. 9, which is knitted on the long-latched needles to form the selvedge. In a modification, a second course of yarn is laid before raising the cam 8. The disk 30 is provided with a notch 61 to lower the cam 8 for tucking at a subsequent course, and with a notch 62 to relieve the cam 8 from the thrust of the rod 34 during the withdrawal of the camblock 4 for transfer. The invention is stated to be applicable to straight bed machines, for example of the Lamb type. Specification 12,722/13 also is referred to.

Abstract: The general field of the invention is that of devices for controlling luminance of lighting devices comprising light-emitting diodes. The control device (10) is driven by a cyclic input signal (SPWM) of determined period, each period comprising an activation time (TA) representative of a determined luminance level. The control device comprises analogue electronic means (11) generating a second control signal (SA-A) for the intensity of the electric current passing through the light-emitting diodes, the amplitude of the second control signal being an increasing function of the activation time in such a way that the combination of the cyclic input signal and of the second signal applied to the light-emitting diodes gives a greater luminance range than the range of the cyclic input signal.
